they are really easy to make, just use a piece of cardboard or poster board to get the shape, then trace it onto a piece of aliminum or plastic, or whatever.. drill the holes for the switches exactly where you want um, and enjoy (i secured mine with some 3M double sided tape)

i doubt home depot will have some, but if there are any industrail parks nearby check there.. i used a dvd case for mine, looks and works great.. plus you can cut it with scissors..

maybe get a piece of smoked plexi and put some led's under it..hmmm

make a custom one, i dont like the jimmy jams. they look like a toy, you can custom fab something classier. use aluminum, see if you can get SS etched into it or something.
heres my switchpanel. i know its not in my ashtray, but its something else to think about. someone from another forum works with metal templates or something, and made it for me.


(activate-purge-bottle heater-undecided)
i changed the switch for the bottle heater though...

the guy who made it for me sent me the plain silver ones, the purge button i stole from a friend, the red one i got from the guy who sold me the nitrous kit, and then i bought another (like the red one) from a local speed shop.
most electronics type stores sell them though. radioshack or anything.
